About the company

A global industrial materials leader

A provider of chemical solutions serving customers worldwide across multiple industries, including automotive, electronics, industrial manufacturing, renewable energy, transportation, and consumer goods. To accelerate innovation and scale AI adoption within Research & Development, the organization required a stronger data foundation to support advanced analytics, automation, and AI-driven decision-making across business-critical processes.

Our approach

Establishing an AI-ready data foundation for R&D transformation

01

Data, technology & governance assessment

Conducted a comprehensive assessment across the R&D organization to identify barriers limiting AI adoption, including fragmented data landscapes, inconsistent governance structures, and disconnected collaboration processes.

02

Data foundation & architecture design

Defined the target data model, governance framework, and collaboration standards required to create a scalable foundation for advanced analytics and AI applications.

03

AI use case identification & prioritization

Evaluated and qualified high-value AI opportunities across R&D based on business value, feasibility, and implementation dependencies.

04

Implementation roadmap development

Created a detailed execution roadmap covering organizational capabilities, required resources, timelines, and governance structures to accelerate implementation.
